Yeah. I agree. Currently I am doing a restoration of the operating system on my 2017 MacBook Air until Cor I five.

I have a Mid-2012 13" MBP that I got in Oct. 2022 and back in April 2023 I got a new MagSafe port for it but then I broke the keyboard ribbon cable by accident so up until recently I used a USB keyboard with it. Not very comfortable! It has a Kingston 240GB SSD with macOS Ventura on it with OpenCore, and a small 60GB partition with OS X Mountain Lion. Thanks to you and Hugh Jeffreys's videos I bought a keyboard from iFixit and managed to install it myself. I need to replace my lid as it has no webcam cable and the back panel is separating from the display. I also need a new BIL (Battery Indicator Light) as mine ripped and now it won't sleep when I close the lid. I also plan to upgrade the stock 4GB of RAM to 16GB. Your videos are an inspiration!

I don't know why, but I love these old restorations videos. Thanks

Interesting you did this video as I have a mid-2010 Macbook A1342 I use as my lightweight daily driver when I'm not otherwise abusing my poor main Win10 gaming rig. Sure it can be a little sluggish coming out of standby (I forgot to install a SSD before customising and updating the system), but it's otherwise a nice little workhorse for light YT or playing Diablo II: Lord of Destruction when I'm in town at games day (over in Wagga). One upgrade I should have done after a bit of extra research was the RAM, going from 4GB (2x2GB) to 8GB (2x4GB) when I could have pushed it to 16GB (2x8GB) for not much more when buying the replacement ram from Australia Computer Online up in Sydney. The battery still has a good amount of life left as it takes like 3 or 4 hours to get down to 50% without mains (such as when I get hit with a blackout here). That is more than enough time for me to get word out to my common contacts I'm currently in a blackout, get a few YT vids under my belt (gotta love having Optus 4G Mobile Broadband modems on UPS's) and put it to standby before catching a few hours sleep to ride out the power outage.

“This video (like most on this channel) is sponsored by ARCTIC MX-4 Thermal Compound Paste” ... or at least it should be! Your vid’s are the reason why I own a tube! Also b/c of your vids I have the courage to open up my late 2011 MBP and replace the battery, ram, & hard drive. I don’t have any Eucalyptus magic, but I’ll do my best to get it clean. I’ve had it since it was new and I’m curious to see how it compares to the ones you have done on this channel. I figure that since I’m in there I might as well keep digging and clean off and replace the thermal paste. What do you reckon? I’ll be using ifixit’s guides for the replacement parts, but am not quite sure yet about how to get all the way to the CPU for the thermal paste. ifixit may have a guide for that as well... I just haven’t looked yet. Any advice you may have is welcomed. I’m a long time subscriber to your channel and feel that I have really benefited from watching your videos. I’m grateful that you are willing to share your talent with the world. Keep up the good work!

I'm rather a ThinkPad guy (fitted with Linux) but your previous videos featuring old MacBooks fix/cleanup inspired me to pick up one myself, namely white plasticky A1342. Was joy to disassemble, clean-up & re-assemble it. With SSD, more RAM, patched Catalina and after through clean-up it's very pleasant to use :) However no luck in finding eucalyptus oil in my country

Hello! Good day! I hope you are doing well and safe and sound, despite of the challenges we are facing and experiencing amid the COVID-19 pandemic. I am glad to know that you are safe since you are one of the greatest KZread video creators I am following and currently subscribed to. I am a big fan of yours from the Philippines. I am Jerico Alba, a 2nd Year Mass Communication student and I watch how you restore PCs and other devices using your iconic eucalyptus oil and your skills in restoration of PC components (e.g. the laptop from 1990s, and repairing many Macbooks). However, you told from one of your videos that you have so many laptops that you have restored and you have no idea of where and who to give it to? And have you mentioned that it can be sent to viewers? I am one of your greatest fans since I subscribed you when you still have less than 100K subscribers, and I love sending likes to your videos. I have also recommended you to my friends and luckily, they are now an avid fan of yours. I also learned a lot of things in restoring a PC and laptop. However, the profits I earn from fixing them only benefits to our daily livelihood, and I still struggle for online classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for I only rent a laptop to use, just to pursue my education. I hope you can notice my message and be one of the lucky fans that will be able to receive a free restored MacBook :( Moreover, the video was uploaded in September 15, which is my birthday. I wish you a happy holidays, my friend! If so, this will be very lucky and best holiday for me. Thank you very much and I will still continue to be one of your avid fan no matter what! I love you and your videos! :)

Awesome work as always! Wish I could find cheap MB to restore in my neck of the world, but even a dead one is far more expensive that what I'm willing to pay for.

Ive tried this personally on my 2012 retina 15 inch with the base i7 and it helped but it only lasted like 1 1/2 years. Might have been my application but whatever. What I tried was liquid metal. It did/does help on my 2012 retina i7 but Id love to see you test it out on one or several different macbook pros that had thermal issues. Dont change the fan curves but just do benchmarks and thermal stress tests between thermal paste and liquid metal. It would be cool to see if there is a way to extend the life (Thermal wise) of one of these laptops. Since a good bit of them didn't survive due to components failing due to thermal related issues.

Started watching your channel recently, I used mx-4 & crucial bx500 ditto for upgrading my laptop before i stumbled upon your channel. 😂 Think that's the alike factor

Great job!!

I have a 13 mid 2009 MacBook Pro as a backup. I replaced the DVD drive with a second hdd bay with a second ssd for Windows 10. Run the latest Catalina using dosdude1 patch and it surprisingly runs well. Windows 10 runs really well esp with the 8gb ram installed. Not bad for it’s age.

Keep continuing it's great

Your production value is through the roof!! But don't worry, the roof was carefully disassembled and then reassembled again - along with a bit of a eucalyptus oil clean while the roof was off.

Great Video!

You inspired me to fix my own computers, might be a good side business

Definitely one of your most satisfying cleanings.

Nice restoration! Cor, $150 for an upgrade to 500GB HDD is extremely expensive! My 6GB Acer Aspire from 2011 (with a 1st gen Core i5 CPU) had a 500GB HDD as standard. Nowadays, a 500GB 2.5in drive will cost less than £20 and a 1TB 2.5in HDD can be had relatively cheaply as well. A 500GB SSD can be had on eBay for about £50-£60 as well, which is also reasonably priced. The Unibody Macbooks were (IMO) the last decent ones, as after the 2012 Unibody, they went with soldered CPUs and RAM, proprietory (and later soldered) SSDs, batteries that were difficult to replace, removal of the DVD optical drive, and removal of various different ports.

this is so satisfying to watch

I also got a free 13" MacBookPro5,5 from 2010, though it's sporting the 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU. A local school was throwing it away, and my mother happened to scoop it up, complete with a working AC charger. It had the original 250 GB 5400 RPM HDD from Hitachi, and I'm still using that as my Time Machine backup drive. It also only came with 2 GB of DDR3 1066 MHz RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB graphics chip. I immediately cleaned it up, threw in 4 GB of DDR3 1066 MHz RAM from my 2010 Alienware M11x R1 (that now has 6 GB RAM), and bought a cheap Patriot Blaze 480 GB SSD for it. It works beautifully, even with 10.14.2 Mojave (I used DOSdude's fix to get it past High Sierra). In fact, that's what I'm using to type this comment. I love the 1280x800 screen and the keyboard. It really doesn't feel like an old laptop for just basic tasks.

I've been doing computer repair as a side business since I was in high school in the late 90's, and doing repairs for myself since the late 80's, and I can this is no where near as bad as some systems I've seen, I had one lady around mid 06 bring me a dell inspiron deskop(I don't remember the exact model) it looked in rough shape from the start, so I had it out on my carport to blow the dust out before I started to even figure out what was wrong, and when I opened the side panel HOLY HELL!!! the amount of roaches that poured out. after all the roaches had left I sprayed down my carport, and parts of my front, and side yard, I called the lady, back and said NOPE!! I'm not working on this, but you owe me $20 USD for bug spray for all the roaches that came out of your machine, or i can throw it in the trash, she grunted on the phone FINE!!! I left the machine outside, she came to pick it up the next day, payed the $20, and I've never seen her since.

I have a case, screen protector and keyboard cover. I had a casing for the bottom, but it held in heat so I only use the display case. Every time I rub it down to clean it (the whole thing on the outside) it looks like brand new. For $2000, its definitely worth buying a $20 case with keyboard cover

Who was waiting for him to clean the screen with his eucalyptus spray. 😍

Sometimes just cleaning them out is all it takes. I got a 17" Dell laptop with a first-gen i5 for about $50 not too long ago (the screen it uses sells for more these days by itself) because it wouldn't run properly. Turned out it just had 10 years worth of dust and a completely blocked fan. Once I took it apart and cleaned it, it was good as new.

A such PSU is not difficult to fix at all! I'd definitely have cut the wire and used my soldering iron! What can you do with on of these devices? First, not use Yosemite. You can patch it to Catalina without much graphics problems. iMovie will not work, but luckily the latest non Metal iMovie will run on Catalina. The latest GarageBand compatible with Catalina is the latest non Metal GarageBand anyway. If really you don't want to have to worry about Metal patching... install High Sierra!
